TRAT : Military officials are saying little about the outcome of talks yesterday over a shooting incident involving a Thai military helicopter near Cambodia.
Troops from both sides met for more than two hours in Trat's Muang district about the incident, in which Cambodian troops opened fire on Thursday at a Thai helicopter delivering relief supplies near the border.
The Bell 212 helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in Ban Khao Lan in Trat province, but no one was hurt.
Those involved in the talks said they had reached a preliminary agreement, but refused to go into detail.
Maj Gen Yun Min, Cambodian commander of the Koh Kong Command, who led the Cambodian side in the talks said they did not discuss who was at fault, nor whether Cambodia would have to pay compensation.
Maj Gen Yun Min said both sides only discussed how they could prevent a repeat of the incident.
Lt Col Jan Seri, a deputy military chief of staff of Koh Kong province who left the meeting room before Maj Gen Yun Min, said an agreement had been reached and both sides proposed not to talk about who was at fault.
Maj Gen Yun Min declined to comment further on the helicopter shooting and the border dispute regarding Area 326, which is close to where the helicopter was shot. The Area 326 dispute could be discussed at the Thai Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission meeting in Phnom Penh on Wednesday, he said.
Captain Kittikhun Naksuk, commander of Trat Marine Special Unit, who led the Thai side in the meeting, said he could not say whether Cambodia would have to apologise or pay compensation. Spare parts for the helicopter were brought in yesterday to replace those damaged in the attack. The helicopter was later flown back to the Tak Sin military camp in Chanthaburi.
Vice Adm Phongsak Phureeroj, commander of the Royal Thai Marine Corps, said Maj Gen Yun Min had conceded during yesterday's meeting that Cambodian troops were at fault for shooting at the helicopter and he apologised for what he described as "over reacting".

Why did Maj Gen Yun Min apologized? I
think this writer is interjected her own opinion at the end of the article. Twisting the truth. After all, she is an idiot reporter for the Thai military.
Why the Siem military thugs such AH Phongsak Phureeroj want to speak for Maj Gen Yun Min? Who ask these Siem military thugs to speak for Cambodian army? The Siem military thugs need to shut their pie hole and if Maj Gen Yun Min wants to these Siem military thugs to speak for him then these Siem military can make comment! It is obvious that these Siem military thugs want so much to claim their righteousness! It doesn't matter what these Siem military thugs want to say and as long as they continue to violate Cambodian territory and shot them dead!
These Siem military thugs are no Angel fly in the sky!
These Siem military thugs are made of flesh and blood!
These Siem military thugs shit the same way like any human!
So kill them the same way like you kill the enemy!
The Thai captain meets with the Cambodian Maj.Gen?
This shows how low the Cambodian army is, when the captain from other country meets with the cheap Cambodia Maj. Gen.
from the sound of it, i don't think cambodia wanted to shoot their helicopter down, given no one was injured in all of this. it was just a warning for siem not to do that again by violating khmer airspace, you know! think about it, one hundred shots, if we cambodia want to do harm to them, they could do so, but we know that's not the case, really! next time, ask cambodia for permission before entering our airspace, territories, etc, ok! it's not funny, you know!
We have plenty of Man Portable short range air defense system SAMs like the FN-6 and the FN-16. If we wanted to destroy it, it would have been obliterated already. We gave them verbal warning, but they were so arrogant by not responding, our soldiers had to fire to warn them.
